Steering Relay Arm

[dave mumert]

I just pulled the relay arm of the GMC.
The top seal was missing so the top of the bushing is corroded and the
bottom part is warn out.

Are these bushings available from GM or Cinnabar? The parts book shows
part number for all the pieces.

I would rather replace the bushing as opposed to air expressing a
replacement in from Ken Thoma. I think UPS has desperation sensors so they
can increase their rates at appropriate times ;-)

Dave, I would recommend going with all new parts with the replay arm. I had
to replace two "rebuilt" ones (I don't know who rebuilt them) within 5,000
miles. The new parts came from Cinnabar and included a new arm and new hardened
steel center bushing. It seems to be lasting very well and I am keeping it
well greased. Good luck.
